A contrasted sans with a compact, slightly condensed stance and crisp geometry. Strokes show clear thick–thin modulation with sharp, wedge-like joins and tapered terminals that read as cut or flared rather than fully serifed. Curves are smooth but often resolve into pointed or chiseled ends, while diagonals and apexes (notably in letters like A, V, W, and X) create a lively, angular rhythm. Counters are generally open and round, and the overall color on the page is dark and assertive, with small details (hooks, beaks, and tapered strokes) adding texture in both uppercase and lowercase.
Best suited to display contexts such as headlines, pull quotes, magazine titling, and poster work where its contrast and sharp terminal detailing remain clear. It can also perform well in branding and packaging that want a modern, crafted feel, particularly when set with generous spacing and clean layouts.
The tone feels contemporary and design-forward, mixing clean sans structure with expressive, almost calligraphic stress. It comes across as energetic and slightly theatrical—suited to attention-grabbing settings while still staying controlled and readable. The sharp terminals and high contrast lend a refined edge that can feel fashion-oriented or poster-like rather than strictly utilitarian.
Likely designed to merge a straightforward sans foundation with a more crafted, contrast-driven voice. The goal appears to be a distinctive display sans that reads clearly while projecting personality through wedge terminals, angular joins, and lively thick–thin modulation.
The numerals and punctuation maintain the same chiseled, tapered logic as the letters, giving mixed text a consistent, stylized sparkle. The sample text shows strong word shapes and distinctive letterforms that emphasize personality; tight apertures and sharp joins can become prominent at smaller sizes, while larger sizes highlight the sculpted contrast and terminal cuts.
